 |  | Bloemfontein was the capital of the Boer Republic of the Orange Free State, from 1854 to 1902, and of the Orange Free State Province from 1910, when the Union of South africa came into being in 1910, and from 1994 the province is known as the Free State. It all started when Rudolph Britz settled |
| on a place with a strong fountain after leaving Swellendam with his cattle in 1820. The area and fountain, for water, was a polular resting place for all travellers, hunters and later the Voortrekkers en-route to their destinations. The town Bloemfontein received city status in 1954 and is also known as the judicial capital of South Africa, with the Appeal Court located in the City. | ||
